I simply cannot believe that my Facebook page has just reached 100 000 likes! I just can’t. Someone really oughta pinch me or something!!! NEVER in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would ever get to see this many thumbs up on my page. To say that I am flattered and honored would be an understatement. I can’t… View Post

I don’t normally do “Chicken Wings” and the likes on Game Day. In fact, call me strange, but my grub of choice for the Big Event has always been Chili. Don’t ask me why, that’s just the way it is. Every year, come Super Bowl, I would whip up a big batch of Piping Hot, Soul Warming Chili. But for… View Post

Today, I’m not giving you a recipe. Nope. I’m just giving you an idea. Inspiration! And no, don’t get your hopes all high: we’re not going to be making olives from scratch. While this is an avenue that I truly want to explore, sadly, this project is gonna have to wait until olives are in season again. Or well, at… View Post

I don’t think there’s anything in the world that I like me more than a good steak. Personally, I think steaks are at their best in the summertime when you can throw them on the outdoor grill over really, REALLY high heat and get some super nice charred grill marks on them, as well as infuse them with this great… View Post

I have no idea how to categorize this totally indulgent Crème Brûlée Cheesecake, to be honest with you. Is it paleo, is it not paleo? I mean sure, my version of Paleo does include the occasional addition of cheese, but this is more than just “a little” cheese indulgence. This is cheese feast galore to the tenth power. Heck, at that… View Post

One thing I definitely don’t eat often enough of in the wintertime is salads. I guess it’s only natural to be craving warm and comforting foods when it’s so cold out that your nostrils kinda want to stick together every time you inhale through them. Or, when it seems as though the thermometer is begging you to take it inside with… View Post

Up until recently, pickles were a real big mystery to me. I had NO idea how one could turn a simple bright green, fresh and crisp cucumber into this yellow-brown-greenish salty, crunchy, vinegary delicacy. I thought for sure that pickle making was just as long and complicated as making olives from scratch. Hey, for all I knew, maybe one even needed… View Post

Let me start by saying that I am not USUALLY a fan of e-books. Call me old fashioned, but to me, there’s nothing quite like sitting myself down with a beautiful book in hand, caressing the pages with my fingers and savoring the images with my eyes. BUT! This latest marvel of an ebook by the Paleo Parents, who by… View Post

This Sweet Potato and Ground Beef Pie is my new favorite dish EVER, I swear. It looks so distinguished and elegant, yet it’s so super easy to make. A tiny bit time consuming maybe, but super easy nonetheless. And I’m sure that once you’ve tried it, it’ll become a favorite of yours as well and you will be making it your own in… View Post

Okay, guys, this is the last entry in my Christmas Recipe Log for this year. I swear. I know I’m really stretching it and it’s about time I got back with the regular program, but there was just no way I could not share this awesome recipe with you on the simple account that this is what I had for… View Post

I was really hesitant to post these when I first decided to make them because seriously, they are so easy to make that you don’t really need a recipe, so I figured you didn’t exactly need me to show you how it’s done. Besides, they are all over the Internet already so chances are you’ve seen them a gazillion times before…. View Post

Now that we’ve made Pie Dough, we need to get busy making some pie, don’t you think? Of course, we do. How about we make a great French Canadian classic: tourtière, aka Meat Pie? I know, I know. It’s traditional Christmas food. And Christmas is a thing of the past, now. I know. And I’m sorry if I’m still serving you… View Post

I’m not gonna lie to you. Paleo crust is a bitch to work with. And I really mean that. In fact, you can even capitalize that B. Without gluten to hold it together, it wants to rip and break and fall to pieces and it will probably have you swear and curse like nobody’s business. Mind you, I’m probably not… View Post

Hasselback is now my new favorite way of enjoying baked potatoes. Especially baked sweet potatoes! I mean, hey, not only are they super soft and creamy and unbelievably tasty, they’re also super cool to look at. Seriously, put one of these beauties on a plate and it clearly becomes the star of that plate! I think that even those who… View Post

I can’t believe that another year is already coming to an end… Seriously. I just can’t believe it. Two thousand and fourteen is less than a few hours away. Wow! How crazy is that? On this very special occasion, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your ongoing support and for your much appreciated… View Post

Christmas tradition is slowly starting to go down the drain in this household. No, sorry, scratch that. I refuse to call it that. “Down the drain” has way too much of a negative connotation to it and Christmas should be about nothing but happiness and positivism… So let me rephrase that: traditions in this household have been shifting and evolving… View Post

Believe it or not, I’ve got another treat for you today. This one’s different, though. First, it’s not chocolate. Although these jellies sure would be tasty all coated in dark chocolate. Hummm. I think I need to save that idea in a drawer somewhere inside my head… But for now, I think we’ve had enough chocolate. Well, on here anyway! So… View Post
